Abstract

Using the Ärts & Humanities Citation Index" and the "Social Sciences Citation Index," a citation analysis of 116 monographs in the humanities and social sciences published between 1973-90 found that scholarly monographs have greater impact than articles; that each discipline has a core group of monographs; and that a monograph's initial reception can predict its intellectual survival.
